This is the UK's biggest 10 mile run, and the course is fast and flat, with fantastic crowds and music to keep you going.

Starting and finishing in Southsea, the route will take you past some iconic maritime landmarks, including Portsmouth Harbour, the Spinnaker Tower and the HMS Victory.

With inspiring history, salty air and glorious sea views guaranteed, this stunning seafront challenge is a favourite for beginners and regular runners alike!
